i think i have failed to mention that haley moved in with us for the summer a couple of weeks ago. well, she did and it's awesome. grey has an obsession with her, tuck flirts with her, and i love spending time with her. she has been more than a delight to share our home with for many reasons. One of these reasons we enjoyed tonight. She taught us her really involved secret recipe for "GRAHAM SLAMS!"
It consists of...cool whip smooshed between two graham crackers! ooo it's so yummy and refreshing. it's been a light, nightly treat for all of us! I decided to make a second batch today to have on hand and mine were not nearly as perfectly constructed as hers. Stop by anytime because they will be a staple in our freezer for the summer!
after our dance party tonight, we enjoyed some on the front porch.
"hey, i want some of that. you HAVE to share with me." - tuck
"mmm much better"
this is the life.
in other news, we have so many stinking tomatoes and it makes heart jump with joy! i have been planning our huge garden i am going to plant next summer and i cannot wait! it's going to be extravagant and did i mention i can't wait?! this summer is barely a taste of the crop i hope to yield next year. anyhow, i went over to water our vegetables after our tasty treat and the boys sensed water and followed me.
in a matter of seconds grey ended up with his shirt off and tuck took over the watering of his brother.
grey had a few tricks of his own. "here tuck, let me show you how to use this thing and squirt yourself."
and we had lots of fun.
So excited about your garden. Have you ever heard of "lasagna gardening"? I'm trying it for the first time this year. It's very cheap to make a lasagna bed as you use things you have on hand. The soil is supposed to be great as it is stuff the decomposes nicely. I don't see any tomatoes yet, but the blooms are coming. I do see strawberries though, which I can't wait to pick and eat!
ReplyDeleteThe boys look adorable as ever!
Hope you are doing well!
Love you,
Aunt Julie
